This TV Guide includes BEFORE THE PLAY, the RARE prologue to The Shining novel that was originally omitted by King. Now seeing the light of day after fifteen years of it's first rare appearance in 1982. Includes an introduction by Stephen King and a behind the scenes look at the filming, with color photos.

Originally published in 1977, The Shining quickly became a benchmark in King’s literary career, and stands today as an icon of modern horror.

After a violent outburst cost him his teaching position, recovering alcoholic Jack Torrance thinks he’s found the perfect job. Caretaking a remote mountain resort over the winter should give him the peace and quiet he needs to write. There’s one caveat: once it snows, he and his family will be cut off from the outside world. Bundling up his loyal wife and their uniquely gifted son, he arrives at the Overlook Hotel in Colorado, unaware of its malevolent history. Only young Danny senses the pervasive evil that seeps from its walls...and that it will reach out to snare them all.

Stephen King returns to the characters and territory of one of his most popular novels ever, The Shining, in this instantly riveting novel about the now middle-aged Dan Torrance (the boy protagonist of The Shining) and the very special twelve-year-old girl he must save from a tribe of murderous paranormals.

On highways across America, a tribe of people called The True Knot travel in search of sustenance. They look harmless—mostly old, lots of polyester, and married to their RVs. But as Dan Torrance knows, and tween Abra Stone learns, The True Knot are quasi-immortal, living off the “steam” that children with the “shining” produce when they are slowly tortured to death.
Haunted by the inhabitants of the Overlook Hotel where he spent one horrific childhood year, Dan has been drifting for decades, desperate to shed his father’s legacy of despair, alcoholism, and violence. Finally, he settles in a New Hampshire town, an AA community that sustains him, and a job at a nursing home where his remnant “shining” power provides the crucial final comfort to the dying. Aided by a prescient cat, he becomes “Doctor Sleep.”
Then Dan meets the evanescent Abra Stone, and it is her spectacular gift, the brightest shining ever seen, that reignites Dan’s own demons and summons him to a battle for Abra’s soul and survival. This is an epic war between good and evil, a gory, glorious story that will thrill the millions of hyper-devoted readers of The Shining and wildly satisfy anyone new to the territory of this icon in the King canon.
